Ecosystem Conservation

What Is Ecosystem Conservation?

Its a comprehensive plan that seeks to maintain all species of plants and animals in a geographic area through the management of natural resources. Its a type of management or conservation strategy involving specific steps being taken to help protect the ecosystem.In order to give the living organisms in that area the best opportunity for a healthy life, they all need to be dealt with and improved as much as possible. Benefits could include clean air and drinking water for people in a particular area, an increase in or preservation of outdoor recreational opportunities, and even economic benefits. All of these could play a role in the acceptance and support a management project receives. After all, humans are a part of the ecosystem too.

Alexander von Humboldt

He was an explorer, humanist, geographer and biologist. He did an immense field work around the world, especially in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Mexico and Cuba.

• new and fast was to do reforestations in manglars, forests, rain forests, as to capture carbon emissions
• find ways to reduce ocean acidifications and recover coral reefs
• create methods to reproduce and reintroduce endagered species like the Mexican wolf or eagles

Restauration

• Find ways to replace plastics, fossil fuels and other non-renewable materials that people use daily
• invent ways to reuse or recycle all kind of material: plastics, fabrics, electronics waste in landfills, etc.
• new cheap was to treat wastewater from houses and industries

Polllution Prevention

• understanding the relationship of biomes with humans, pests, crops.
• mitigate the effect of global warming into ecosystems or understand their adaptions.
• make species census to identify the needs of conservation policies: e.g. tigers, snakes, whales

The Explorations of Alexander von Humboldt

Molina suggested CFC's could destroy an oxygen compound called ozone under the conditions that exist in the upper atmosphere

CFC's were used as refrigerants, aerosol sprays, and for making plastic foams

1995 Molina and Rowland awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry for dangers of CFC's and unraveling mysteries

In 1983 the ozone levels above Antartica had been dropping dramatically, by as much as 30% compared to 1960 same time Antartica spring

Mario Molina's Nobel Prize

Mario Molina’s Nobel Prize

Mario Molina is a Mexican scientist who discovered the environmental effect of these substances. Molina wondered what happened to CFCs once they were released into the atmosphere and his results suggested that CFCs could, in theory, destroy an oxygen compound called ozone under the conditions that exist in the upper atmosphere.

Unity

• Interconnectiveness of nature: weather, organisms, geographical conditions.
• There is a global connection of nature on Earth, so something that happens faraway can affect in other regions.

Conservation

• The oversexplotation of a tree can lead to its extintion. The importance of this plant (Chinchona tree) is that it cures malaria.

• Ecosystem is defined as the interrelationships between the biotic and abiotic component of the environment.
• Whereas habitat is defined as the natural environment in which a particular species of plants and animals lives.
